Abstract
Toxic contaminants, phenolic compounds are nonbiodegradable and persistent in the aquatic environment. Because of their toxicity, they endanger living species and have been designated as top priority pollutants. The primary sources of these chemicals are oil and gas refineries, natural product combustion, home wood burning, photooxidation of benzene during forest fires, and the paint and plastic industries. Various approaches are used to effectively remove and extract phenolic chemicals from oil, wastewater, and other liquid media. The physicochemical properties of phenolic compounds, their toxicity, faith and degradation, and reactivity in aquatic environments were discussed in this chapter. Furthermore, the methodologies for the extraction and removal of phenolic compounds were examined, with a focus on ionic liquid solvents as a “green” solvent.
